The Freedom and Wisdom

The Freedom and Wisdom

The Freedom as a Human being! 

The Freedom as a Man of Citizen! 

The Freedom as a Universal Brotherhood! 

The Freedom as a Man of Asia! 

The Freedom that I feel, 

The Freedom that I need; 

The Freedom that I believed in, 

The Freedom that I see within; 

The Freedom that I asked for, 

The Freedom that I looked for; 

The Freedom that I dreamt for, 

The Freedom that I wished for; 

It is the Freedom I’ve never ever touched before. 

It has a mind of secret Feelings, 

It sighs and whispers in Sadness. 

Though it talks in gentle like a Pigeon! 

And cries in silence like a Horse! 

It makes no Sound and Tune! 

Just looking up the Sky; 

Feeling the Absence of Freedom thereby! 

When Tears silently rolling down the Cheeks! 

Leaving a Crack on the Heart with Reeks! 

No World, no Humans Remembers aside! 

Just looking for a Place to Hide! 

Chasing the Freedom through Wisdom, 

To build a Kingdom of Freedom. 

Without Blood and Wisdom, 

There is no Freedom. 

Freedom Talks and Laughs! 

With Breaths of Peace and Love! 

When there is Equality, 

There is Humanity. 

When there is Humanity, 

There is Freedom and Prosperity. 

It is not the End of an End, 

As it is not my Friend, 

It has many Trends, 

Sometimes Up and Down, 

Here and there in the Town, 

Leaving thousands of Lives! 

Finally, it comes again in Alive!

Author’s Note: This poem was aimed to express the importance of wisdom for freedom while freedom for prosperity, peace and love among the people of different faiths with no ethics of colour and creed. And it was also aimed to explore the feelings of a Myanmar minority Muslim Rohingya who has never ever touched a breath of freedom in his/her birth place (Myanmar) due to religious and ethnic discriminations. It is noteworthy for me to mention through this poem that there should be no colour and code ethics for recognition of a Citizen of a country in the world as we all are bound to the Universe Friendship and Brotherhood. Without having equal rights and freedoms, there should be no genuine democracy. On the other hand, it was said that every person has a right to be the Citizen of a country where he/she has born.
